but nancy pelosi knows where the votes are. again, there's no evidence that they have those votes there. i put together a very sophisticated graphic here. right now we have about 100 democrats who have said they're for an impeachment inquiry. about 135 who either said they're against it or have not said they're for an impeachment inquiry. there's a long way to go to get there for her. as melanie was talking about, there is that set of democrats for whom it is a bad vote just to take the vote. they will alienate either the base voters they need to show up to win, or the swing voters they need who were republicans in the past or who might split their ticket and vote trump and democrat otherwise. this is problematic for a significant part of her caucus and sermon for a lot of those who made the democratic majority. >> melanie, if you'll help us get away as fast as we can from john slightly obscene graphic, impeachment is maybe the easiest thing in the world to say from the cheap seats. we do it all the time. all the guests on this

you know there's a theory that if you don't have it by the end of the year, crazy nancy pelosi would become president. you know that, right? no, no, think of that. think of that. >> just a fact check here on trump's allegation about nancy pelosi because, remember, it was our last president who taught constitutional law and not this one. the speaker would only become president if congress, when it counts the electoral votes on january the 6th, can't figure out who's president. in that event, the election would go to the house with each state voting. only if that step yields no result would a pelosi presidency come into play. it is a scare tactic, though, for the trump base as are his false charges about fraud and mail-in voting. >> i don't like this mail-in ballot deal. they're going to send out 51 million mail-in ballots to people that haven't requested them, and nobody knows who's getting them. we're not prepared for this, 51 million ballots. it will be a tremendous embarrassment to our country. they also think i'm trying to steal an election. just the opposite. i want the fair resu

nancy pelosi the democratic leader has said she won't vote for it because what's not in it. in this case democrats are upset there's no immigration provision in this bill whatsoever. nothing to deal with the dreamers. democrats had made that a hard line for a budget deal or anything to fund the government. they did it once before in the previous shutdown. they have flirted with the idea of making it a hard line again at this point although it's not clear that the democratic party has a united position on what to do about this bill whether they will vote for it or against it. it seems like at least some dras are liable to come across and vote with republicans to move this bill forward and keep the government open. and one last piece of business in the senate tonight that might give democrats in both chambers and across the country some hope for this, just before adjourning for the night, mitch mcconnell set up the vehicle for what will be a big busy immigration debate in the senate next week. setting up a possible start of that debate for 5:30 on monday. you have to set the p
